"No College employee is exempted from Arizonas mandatory reporting statute (A.R.S. §13-3620). Thisstatute requires College personnel, including faculty, staff, and administrators, who learn in the course and scope of their employment that a minor has been the victim of abuse to immediately report this information. The College requires that the report be made to the College Department of Public Safety (DPS). The duty to make a mandatory report is not satisfied by conveying the information to another College employee. The requirement to make a mandatory report includes situations where the victim of the abuse is under 18 years of age as well as situations where the victim is now 18 years of age or older but was abused as a minor. Failure of an employee to make a mandatory report can result in the employee being charged with a misdemeanor or a class 6 felony."
